I am starting to change my stock system to Alpine I've got a Alpine CDA-9855 deck and a MRV-545-V12 500w Apline amp and Alpine XM radio contoler but witch speaker shound i get for the best sound in the doors and the seal panal.Should there be differant types for the door and the seal panal,there is so miny 6.5 Alpine speaker like:

SPR17LP-Type R 250W-50RMS-Watts
SPR17LS-Type R 350W-70RMS-Watts
SPX177R- 300W-75RMS-Watts
SPS170A- 200W-40RMS-Watts
SPS171A- 250W-50RMS-Watts
SPR-174- Type R 160W-40RMS-Watts
SPR-176- 200W-50RMS-Watts

Witch one is the better sound and will fit the depth of the door and seal panal , I am also going to get a Alpine Amp & Sub and CD changer price don't matter but not insain but I want only Alpine products

Are u going to run a seperate amp for the speakers and the subs? or just the sub alone? If you are going to run the speakers w/out a aftermarket amp i was told the SPS 170A was the best fit for the system. Anything else probably requires too many watts to run and u would need a aftermarket amp. I currently am running the SPS 170A speakers and I still dont think i have enough watts going to them. Good Luck on your system.

The spr-17ls and the spx-177r are a direct drop into into the stock baffles. And since those fit, the other will likely fit as well (the sps-17xA fit too I believe). What you do have to be aware of is the tweeter protrusion on the coaxial models. I believe you can have up to 3/4" above the mounting flange to be safe..

From listening to the 17ls and 177r side by side, the 177r seems to be a little more clearer with the same signal.

Keep in mind, the 17ls is a hefty speaker. Weighing in at around 5 LB per woofer. The 177R weighs about the same as the factory speaker (maybe a little more, but much).

This was a factor for me in choosing the 177R's.

If you're going to stay with the alpine series, you might consider the spx-17MB for the SAIL panel speakers.

I got the same amp as you have. Front doors are spx-177R, and a stealth sub in the rear. I'm running the hatch 4" speakers off HU power.

My install is almost complete - hopefully tomorrow I'll connect power and finally energize the system

I'll give my 2 cents worth on this setup in the next few days after I had a chance to play around with it...

I just ordered a set of SPX 177R's for the doors, now what do I need for the seal panals and for the rear and what sub and amp to match

If you want the most bass out of an alpine sub I believe the best one they make is the type x. I've also heard the type R is good which is what i'm gunna install on my car tomarrow.

Alpine makes a mid-bass 6.5 for that will fit the rear sail panels (beside the seats) JL also make one. Both will fit but with and speaker in the sail panels I would use poly fill just to keep and rattels down. Some people think you can use the same speakers yoiu have in your front doors in the sail panels. I have mid bass drivers in my sail panels and I'm going to switch to co-axials for better imaging. I'm runnning a stealth box and Infinities 6.5 in the front doors and the factory midbass drivers right now and I hardly ever hear the mid bass.

So should i go with a co-axials or components in the seal panel for a crisper sound .witch Alpine speakers shound i go with in there or shound i switch the door SPX-177-R to the seal panel and use a differant speaker in the doors , I have not in stalled any thing yet so i can make changes vert easy at this point. To day this is what i have ready to go in

All Alpine: CDA-9855 head unit,MRV-545-V12 amp,Alpine XM radio controller,SPX-177-R 6.5" component speakers,SWR-2210D 10" sub woofer for stelth box,PAC-SWI-ALP steiring wheel controler.

What i need :A good Alpine Amp to run the sub, another set of 6.5" speakers for the doors or seal panels , Stelth box , and maybe speaker for the rear not shore about that yet.

Randy, you might want to consider actually listening to these speakers before deciding for sure. I had a chance to listen to both the type R and X components side by side. With the same settings, the X sounded more clearer to me.

There's really no need for the SAIL PANEL speakers. The factory ones in there were subs, and since you're going to have a STEALTH box, why spend more money. For my rears, I have some 4" kappa's in there running off of head unit power, but really, it's there just for fill... if even that.. I barely hear them.

As for your sub, alpine doesn't make a 22" 10 ohm sub. I think you mean't the SWR-1022D (10", 2ohm+2ohm DVC).

Going with components will let you lift the sound stage up a bit if you mount the tweeters in the mirror triangles..

My bad ,the sub is a SWR-1022D-10" So you are saying just put speaker in the door and the one sub and leave the factory seal panel speaker in , The amp that i have is a 4 chanal hook up .I was going to hook up 2 chanals for the 2 doors and 2 chanals for the 2 seal panal and a extra amp for the sub alone. The fatory seal panal will not hold up to the amp that i have, a total of 500 watts combind and around 100 watts perchanal.I'm looking for a seround sound efect.
